Establishes "Scientific Conference Grant Program"; appropriates $250,000.

This bill establishes a $250,000 grant program administered by New Jersey's Office of the Secretary of Higher Education to support scientific conferences hosted by the state's colleges and universities. Institutions of higher education can apply for grants to cover costs like venue rentals, speaker fees, travel, and lodging for scientific conferences, but not food or unrelated vendor expenses. Applications must include conference details, speaker credentials, and cost information, with grant amounts determined by the Secretary. The program aims to help local academic institutions host scientific events by offsetting specific operational costs.
